    Date with my fist and your face if I heard that nonsense spew out of it.

    Is that real? I don't think I could hide my disdain if that was uttered in my presence.

    While I've never heard it I expressed that way, it's pretty common for project work that hasn't been sized yet.

    Sounds about right. What county is CO?

    This is why I don't go up valley from CR8 except to ski after Thursday afternoon.

    The basic bitch fuck stick scene of 2nd homos is a bit overwhelming. Try rolling a game at the Foundry on a Friday night. The top buzzword bingo plays are.

    Come up
    Go Down
    Comp Center
    Uphilling
    Remote
    Traffic
    Wheels Up

    And so on. Dad's just hang back dulling the pain, the spawn run around like entitled twat, and the sharp elbow boss Mom's bang back Chard and find something to get all worked up about.

    The Boulder Bubble is real. Unfortunately they try and export their culture and it often doesn't travel well.

    "Doesn't everyone do it how we do it?"

    "Uh...generally not South of Rocky Flats or East of Flat Irons Crossing"

    Hmmm, that could encompass a few things.


    "we are looking at other geographies". Uh, states?

    That's interesting, let's take a moment and doubleclick on the thought. If we can find some synergies and align on our value proposition we should be able to create accretive results. But first, let's sync offline to strategize how we'll right-size the team. Circle back with your meeting availability pls.

    I know a linguistics professor at CU who does quantitative studies of how groups of people speak. In other words, he asks a bunch people to read a bunch of sentences and asks them questions and uses software to track how they pronounce every syllable of every word. His main work has been examining drag queens' speech patterns (it's tough work, but someone has to do it, eh?). But he has also tracked regional accents including around Boulder. His conclusion? The Boulder accent is a Norcal accent. When it comes to accents and speech patterns Boulder = San Francisco.

    I’m available Monday between 10:45 and 11:15am PST. Looking forward to connecting and learning how we can drive mutually aligned growth strategies.

    "Lets take this offline" you mean talk privately.
    "Ping me if you need anything" you mean to just let you know if I need anything.
    "Bio break" is my latest annoyance. Someone says in the teams chat "brb need a bio break" I reply with "gross."

    Although I do have a soft spot for the classic 'old man' phrases like "dollars to donuts" and "well I'm from Missouri," things like that. Those have stood the test of time not like this new bullshit.

    Now that you mention it, while I understand people specifying time zones when working remotely and collaborating across the country, WTF is up with people lately using that locally? It's like "Hey, moran. We work in the same office. CLEARLY we're in the same time zone." I've been seeing this a LOT lately for some reason.

    As a boater, I prefer “Go hit the Head” but “Grow a tail” always amuses me, at least. No surprise that I work by myself.

    Funniest one I ever heard was from a carpenter who said he 'was crowning'. In carpenter speak, that's a board with a big curve in the middle.
    He was implying that he had to shite so bad, he was beginning to hump up in the middles.

    I didn't even get it at first. And the first time I heard ' Gotta talk to a man about a horse', Didn't get that either.

    Colorway goes against my grain too.

    My fav is, ‘sorry, had ta drop the kids off at the pool.’ In certain circles one can slide it in the convo and no one’s the wiser. Hit the head is great also.

    I was at a big company meeting this morning and they were talking about "right sizing." I believe the non-bizspeak term for that is "we're going to lay off lots of people."
